2MOBILE INSTALLATION■ TX/ RX Unit Installation Select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that will minimize danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to a pick well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight.Note: You may experience interference on your GPS receiver when using in or around 438.8 MHz (A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To eliminate the interference, ensure that the transceiver is installed at a location separate from your GPS receiver.1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and fl at washers (4 of each are supplied).• The bracket can be mounted with the bracket opening facing down, for under dash mounting, or facing up.• The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each bracket side are facing the back.2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws and fl at washers (4 of each are supplied, 2 for each side of the bracket).• Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or TX/ RX unit.• Set an appropriate angle for the TX/ RX unit, using the 3 screw slots on the rear edge of each bracket side. Self-tapping screw (5 x 16 mm)Flat washerSEMS screw (M4 x 10 mm)
3■ Operation Panel Installation1 Clean and dry the installation location.Do not install the bracket close to an air bag.2 Remove the release paper from the base of the panel bracket, then secure it in place using the 3 supplied self-tapping screws.• Allow the panel to set for a while, to ensure it remains fast. Otherwise, vibrations may occur.• After removing the release paper, it cannot be reused.3 Attach the panel holder to the panel bracket using the 2 supplied SEMS screws.4 Attach the operation panel to the panel holder so that it locks in place.■ Power Cable Connection Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has suffi cient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insuffi cient, the display may darken during transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.SEMS screw(M4 x 10 mm)Panel holderTapping screw(4 mm x 12 mm)Flat washerAdhesive tapePanel bracketPassenger compartmentEngine compartmentBlack (—) cableRed (+) cableRubber grommetFuse holder 12 V vehicle batteryDC power cableFuse holder
4SEMS screw (M4 x 10 mm)Panel holderBase standOperation panelNote: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have suffi cient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.• When using a noise fi lter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.• We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.• If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body, for example in the fi rewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to pass the cable through the fi rewall.• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables.2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable.3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative (–) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver. FIXED STATION■ Operation Panel Installation1 Attach the panel holder to the base stand using the 2 supplied SEMS screws.2 Attach the operation panel to the panel holder so that it locks in place.
5■ Power Cable Connection In order to use this transceiver for fi xed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The recommended current capacity of the power supply is 13 A.Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.1 Ensure that the transceiver and DC power supply are both OFF.2 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative).• Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.• Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires.3 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver.• Press the connectors fi rmly together until the locking tab clicks.Note: For your transceiver to fully exhibit its performance capabilities, we recommend using an optional PS-60 (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle) power supply.Black (—) cableRed (+) cableDC power cableFuse holder Fuse holder Regulated DC power supply
6REPLACING FUSESIf the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized KENWOOD dealer or an authorized KENWOOD service center for assistance.Fuse Location Fuse Current RatingTransceiver(located on the DC connector) 15 ASupplied DC power cable 20 AOnly use fuses of the specifi ed type and rating; otherwise the transceiver could be damaged.Panel jackMIC jackMicrophoneOperation panelTX/ RX unitFuseFuse holderOPERATION PANEL AND MICROPHONE CONNECTIONPlug the microphone plug into the MIC jack, then connect the Operation panel to the TX/ RX unit with the supplied cable.• Attach the microphone hanger to an appropriate position using the screws included in the screw set.Modular plug cableInstalling the Line FilterInstall the line fi lters approximately 3 cm from the connectors.

7ANTENNA CONNECTIONBefore operating, you must fi rst install an effi cient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention.Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 , to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50  reduces the effi ciency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.◆ Transmitting without fi rst connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.◆ All fi xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, and/or transceiver damage.SP 1 jackExternal speakers (SP-50B)SP 2 jackTo antennaAntenna terminalFeed line connectorACCESSORY CONNECTIONS■ External Speakers If you plan to use external speakers, choose speakers with an impedance of 8 . The external speaker jacks accept a 3.5 mm (1/8") mono (2-conductor) plug. We recommend using SP-50B speakers. There are 2 speaker jacks on the rear of the transceiver: SP 1 and SP 2.
